Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor

After you've evaluated your local competitors, be sure to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.

Thankfully, an owner of a an escalators business on the other side of the country may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs.
